Dori Freeman - Ain't Nobody lyrics

[VERSE 1] Well the boss man said you better get up coal Way down in the belly of the earth below Get it up quick and get it up strong ‘Cause the walls of the mine don't hold that long [Chorus] I said I work all night and I work all day Well I work all night and I work all day Said I work all night and I work all day ‘Cause ain't nobody gonna pave my way [VERSE 2] Well a young little mama she stands at home With a big fat baby on her ol' hip bone Four little youngins just a runnin' around And their daddy's laying six feet underground [Chorus] I said I work all night and I work all day Well I work all night and I work all day Said I work all night and I work all day ‘Cause ain't nobody gonna pave my way [VERSE 3] Well the warden said you better pick up speed You better break those rocks 'til your knuckles bleed Swing that pick and bend your knees You got twenty-nine years 'til your chains are free [Chorus] I said I work all night and I work all day Well I work all night and I work all day Said I work all night and I work all day ‘Cause ain't nobody gonna pave my way [VERSE 4] Well a young little mama is walkin' home From a twelve hour day at the factory dome Hands in her pocket and a knife in one ‘Cause every cat caller's tryin' to have his fun [Chorus] I said I work all night and I work all day Well I work all night and I work all day Said I work all night and I work all day ‘Cause ain't nobody gonna pave my way [VERSE 5] Well the farmer said “You better get up hay You better break your back and earn your pay” Two cold dollars in my empty hand And five in the pocket of the white young man [Chorus] I said I work all night and I work all day Well I work all night and I work all day Said I work all night and I work all day ‘Cause ain't nobody gonna pave my way Ain't nobody, ain't nobody, ain't nobody Gonna pave my way Ain't nobody, ain't nobody, ain't nobody Gonna pave my way
